M230: Could This Gun Be the U.S. Military's Ultimate Weapon?

Charlie Gao at Test Feed Using Fields - 12 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * As the military considers ways to enhance the firepower of ground vehicles, the M230 is attracting attention again as a lightweight solution to add heavy firepower to a ground vehicle. But can it be easily adapted to the ground role? The M230 is probably one of the definitive weapons of the Global War on Terror. Mounted on the belly of Apache gunship helicopters, the M230 has provided critical fire support to U.S. troops in almost every theatre they’ve engaged in combat in. But now as the military considers ways to enhance the firepower of ground vehi... more »

Dan Goure at Test Feed Using Fields - 12 hours ago
*Dan Goure* *Security, * "The ability of the U.S. sea services to deploy more capable amphibious warfare forces is taking place at a time when the threats to vital sea lines of communication (SLOC) are growing both in number and sophistication."

The Air Force Wants to Add 74 More Squadrons (Think More B-21 Bombers)

Sebastien Roblin at Test Feed Using Fields - 12 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * "Wilson's proposal shows what the air warfare branch considers would be "the minimum necessary" for sustaining a high tempo of global operations, while maintaining numbers and readiness to counter a ‘great power' adversary, i.e., Russia or China." For long, debates over Air Force spending have revolved around specific platforms and technologies. How many F-35s and B-21s should the Air Force procure? How long should it continue flying its aging B-52s and F-15s? Should the beloved A-10 be retired, and will it be replaced by an even more cost-effici... more »

An increasingly capable Navy, large investments in weapons tech, and its first overseas military base speak to President Xi Jinping’s goal to make China a global superpower.

*Warfare History Network* *Security, Americas* [image: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USMC-120801-M-VG714-002.jpg] This is the story of the 1903 Springfield Rifle. In 1896, the .30-40 “Model 1896 Krag Rifle” became the standard United States Army’s first bolt-action, magazine, smokeless-powder service rifle. The Danish design was popularly known as the Krag-Jorgensen, named for its creator, Colonel Ole Krag, director of Norway’s Kongsberg Arsenal, and Eric Jorgensen, one of the work’s engineers. Despite its design improvements, the Krag-Jorgensen experienced a short life... more »

In the early 1990s, the U.S. Army and Marine Corps introduced a new weapon designed to radically boost the firepower of infantry squads. The M249 squad automatic weapon, or SAW, fired the same ammunition as the M16A2 rifle at a rapid rate of fire and was more compact than the gun it replaced. Although controversial, the M249 still serves today in the U.S. Army and U.S special operations forces worldwide.
